#EV (1/n) What fraction will be India's contribution
to the global electric vehicle market. Any guesses?
We are a part of the top dark grey region consisting
of 150 countries. Yes we are the largest in that
perhaps.
#EV (2/n) In the US EVs cost more & will continue
to do so for over half a decade than ICE. The
battery cost when it drops as a % to car cost to
20% does EV make acquisition sense for a
consumer(not including TCO).
How will this play out in India? How will v control r
costs?
#EV (3/n) Incentives from a regulatory perspective
will drive the initial thrust of EV adoption followed
by economic sense in ownership. In India are we
treading on the same path?
#EV (4/n) EV industry basically includes 4 types of
vehicles:
Battery EV(BEV) - only battery operated electric
motor
Hybrid EV (HEV) - ICE (primary) & electric motor
Plug-in Hybrid EV (PHEV) - ICE & electric motor
(primary)
Fuel Cell EV (FCEV) - Hydrogen operated electric
motor
#EV (5/n) What makes an EV vehicle? What are the
sub systems?
#EV (6/n) The key question investors keep asking
which components & systems could become
defunct when the advent of EVs arrive. Which
companies in India will make it or which will have a
lights out? Lights
#EV (7/n) It's not only about the batteries. What are
the kinds of electric motors which get used in EVs?
#EV (8/n) And coming back to the hot topic of
batteries. Which is the best storage system both
from energy and power density perspective?
#EV (9/n) What constitutes a Lithium ion battery?
#EV (10/n) On the parameters of Cost, Power,
Safety, Performance & Life span which variant of
Lithium ion battery is 'good'?
#EV (11/n) How is an Electrode produced?
#EV (12/n) How is the cell assembly done?
#EV (13/n) Finishing touches to a battery
#EV (14/n) Currently battery is the largest cost to
Total Cost of Ownership. How will this evolve with
time?
#EV (15/n) What is the share of each component in
a lithium ion battery?
#EV (16/n) What is the supply demand scenario for
Lithium?
#EV (17/n) What is the supply demand scenario for
Cobalt?
#EV (18/n) What is the supply demand scenario for
Nickel?
#EV (19/n) Where are Lithium deposits?
#EV (20/n) Where are Nickel deposits?
#EV (21/n) Where are Cobalt deposits?
#EV (22/n) Which companies are the suppliers to
leading EV car models?
